In Dirt 5 you can take on your opponents in a number of different events through multiple different modes of play. If you’re looking for traditional rally racing with co-drivers, you’ll be disappointed: there’s no rally here, with mostly only head-to-head racing on closed circuit or short rally-like tracks. You’ll be doing this in a number of different buggies, specialized vehicles, trucks and cars from a number of different rallycross eras. It features different types of off-road racing, mostly variations on rallycross mixed material racing-where you’ll be driving over dirt, mud or sand one moment and then over paved or brick roads the next. Dirt 5 delivers those in spades.ĭirt 5 is a racing game that centers mainly around off-road racing. I admit I tend to enjoy the less-simulation heavy racers-as long as they have realistic feeling and satisfying driving mechanics. Not only are there high quality versions coming out of Codemaster every other year or so, you can get them in two flavors: the more simulation oriented Dirt Rally games, or the more arcade-like numbered Dirt games.

The Dirt series is probably my favorite racing franchise.
